Expedia Overview
Expedia, the world's foremost online travel network, is a revolutionizing force in the online travel services sector, leading the way in defining how travel is planned and booked worldwide.
Expedia gained its leadership position in the online travel business by providing high-quality, easy-to-use, responsive, safe and secure services to travelers, helping them efficiently plan and get value for their travel needs. Our sites have nearly 32.5 million unique visitors per month and 2.6 million average daily visitors.
Strategic partnerships
We are looking to develop sustainable and equitable relationships with our travel partners and have moved from transactional relationships to long-term strategic partnerships. We are committed to being a sales and marketing partner rather than simply serving as a distribution channel.
Economies of scale
Given our size and combined services, Expedia can capitalize on economies of scale to streamline operations and make doing business with us both efficient and cost-effective. We have the resources and technology to provide easy access and drive incremental bookings for our travel partners.
Expedia's strength as a partner:
- Huge customer volume, which is growing more than 20 percent per year.
- Extensive global network of some of the world's strongest online brands, with the highest unaided and aided brand awareness in the industry.
